1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is characterized by aggressive progression, chemoresistance, and immune evasion, largely driven by its hypoxic tumor microenvironment (TME). The extensive desmoplastic reaction in PC, characterized by dense stromal fibrosis, exacerbates hypoxia by impairing blood flow, creating a hostile environment that limits therapeutic efficacy. Hypoxia-induced microRNAs (HypoxamiRs) have emerged as critical regulators of these processes, modulating cellular pathways that promote tumor survival and therapy resistance. HypoxamiRs exert their effects by interacting with hypoxia-inducible factors, including HIF-1α and HIF-2α. Beyond their direct impact on tumor cells, HypoxamiRs modulate the behavior of immune and stromal cells within the hypoxic TME. Key contributors to hypoxia, such as cancer-associated fibroblasts, pancreatic stellate cells, macrophages, and natural killer (NK) cells, facilitate HypoxamiR transfer via exosomes. This review explores the multifaceted roles of HypoxamiRs in key processes such as immune modulation, chemoresistance, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), autophagy, angiogenesis, and apoptosis in pancreatic cancer. We also highlight the complex interplay between HypoxamiRs and other non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in regulating hypoxia-driven pathways. Investigating these complex interactions provides critical insights for developing novel therapeutic strategies to overcome chemoresistance and immune evasion in pancreatic cancer.
